            Bug ID: 320001
           Summary: bg transparency not working if desktop composition is
                    enabled after konsole is launched
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: konsole
           Version: 2.10.2
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: vallesroc at gmail.com

While editing my color theme, I realized there was an option for console bg
transparency. I had switched composition on (using keyboard shortcut) after
konsole was already running. Konsole complains that transparency isn't
supported by the system and refuses to make the bg transparent.

If a new instance of konsole is opened, then transparency works. For this new
konsole, bg goes solid when switching composition off and transparent when
switching it on, as expected.

However, the older konsole (still open) won't permit transparency no matter
what.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disable desktop composition
2. Start konsole
3. Enable desktop composition
4. Try to make konsole bg transparent.
Actual Results:  
Complaint that the system doesn't support transparency.

Expected Results:  
Transparent bg.

Konsole should be able to cope with composition being enabled after it has
already launched as gracefully as it already does handle the situation where
composition is disabled/reenabled after konsole is already running.
